Angelic Vengeance
Chapter 2: Rescue, part one
A/N: Hey guys! We meet my OCs in this chapter! I hope you like them, 'cause I really do! Anyways, enjoy this chapter and remember that I don't own AnE!
Azleth rubbed his temples in an attempt to soothe his incoming headache.
But, as always when it came to Alias, it did nothing.
He sent a glare to the talkative demon yakking his younger sibling's elf-like ears off.
"Aren't you so excited! The Triple A Batteries are going to save the half demon son of Satan! Isn't that so cool! Just think, we're going to be famous!" She said to the little, white haired half demon.
As always, she mentioned the stupid name for their group that she 'made up herself'. Triple A Batteries, were did that even come from?
His glare darkened as she simply talked and talked, unknowingly making Azleth's pounding headache worse with every second, and pissing him off to no end.
Of course, Aros noticed.
"Alias..." Aros said to Alias, red eyes becoming wide at the dark aura Azleth was giving off.
But, as always, Alias simply ignored the half demon and continued to talk as if it was the only she could possibly do.
At this point, Azleth was simply seething. Not only ignoring him, but Aros as well! That was simply unforgivable. 'Always respect your elders', the council had tried to teach her, but it just went in through one ear and out the other.
Finally, after about three attempts from Aros, Alias turned around and noticed Azleth's rage. Instead of being intimidated, though, she simply smirked and said:
"What's wrong, Spazleth?"
That was the last straw. Azleth leaped forward and tackled Alias to the ground, his ice-blue eyes locking into her emerald green eyes (she was as calm as ever while all this was happening, and god-dammit, she had that smirk on her face!) leaned close and quietly said "Shut up, Alias." At that, her smirk fell off her face and she shouted "WHY DOES EVERYONE ALWAYS SAY THAT!"
This only furthered Azleth's rage and headache.
He pulled back his fist, quite ready to punch the infuriating demon on the face, and Alias smiled and did the same. As soon as they were about to punch each other's faces, they were flung to the other side of the clearing they were in at the moment. Alias and Azleth both slammed into trees on the opposite side of the clearing, and Azleth absently wondered when they arrived in the forest, having not realized it earlier, and groggily opened his eyes and tried to make himself stop seeing doubles. After he did that, he saw Alias was knocked out cold on her side of the clearing. He redirected his eyes and saw Aros in the middle of the clearing, arms crossed.
'Damn, the kid punches hard.' He thought, and winced as he tried to get up.
"AROS WHAT KIND OF STEROIDS ARE YOU ON!" and Alias was now awake.
Aros sighed "If you two don't stop fighting, were never going to be able to save Okumura-san! Now, work together or else getting knocked into trees is going to be the least of your worries!" Aros exclaimed, the shadows around the small bare-footed half demon getting darker and spreading around the clearing.
Alias swallowed nervously and stood up, then walked over to Azleth and held out her hand and said "Truce?" He considered it for a while, and then looked behind Alias to see Aros staring angrily at him.
He gulped and returned his eyes back to Alias, and then took her hand and said "Truce."
"Good! Now that you've made up, we need to go save Okumura-san."
TIMESKIP
Azleth, Alias and Aros observed the building from behind the bushes they were hiding in at the moment.
Alias broke the silence by whistling and said "Pretty impressive place they got here."
And, of course, she was right.
The entire building was made out of white stone brick and dark mahogany wood. It was also very large, probably taking up around 4 acres of space. It had 5 floors (from what they could see) and was impeccable in almost every way. There were plenty of windows, all stained black, so they could not see anything on the inside. The double doors were made out of the same mahogany wood as the rest of the building, and even from there, they could see the large brass knockers that adorned the doors. A black, wrought iron fence surrounded the entire compound, the large, imposing gates (that were also made out of black, wrought iron) were heavily guarded by strong looking humans wearing uniforms.
Azleth looked at his companions. Alias was wearing her signature smirk, and her emerald green cat eyes were narrowed in determination. Aros was concentrating, fragile feminine hands gripping one of the many black leather notebooks in the half demon's possession. There was no doubt in Azleth's mind that it contained the map of the entire building.
Alias broke the silence (again) by saying "Wafer, hand me the map."
Aros nodded and handed her the black notebook.
Azleth felt a vein throb on his forehead. That infuriating demon! Giving ridiculous nicknames to each of them! Azleth had the nickname 'Spazleth' courtesy of his short temper, and poor little Aros got the nickname 'Wafer'. Talk about disrespect.
Azleth shook himself out of his thoughts and concentrated on what Alias was going to say. Even if she was infuriating, she was crucial to the rescue of the eldest Okumura twin, with her strategic mindset and whatnot.
"Alright, listen up! The humans have those guards and that iron fence, but that's mostly to keep out the humans that may try to break into the facility. To us, it's a cakewalk to pass those pathetic 'defences'. What we've got to look out for is barriers. If my guess is correct, they have a powerful demon barrier, most likely grade A, and basically if a demon touches the barrier it triggers an alarm system that summons a ton of exorcists to kindly dispose of them." Alias said, and suddenly two pairs of eyes were fixed on Azleth.
Azleth turned his head towards the compound and saw a faint, transparent, shimmering blue and gold dome encompassing the entire building, edges right behind the iron fence.
His eyes narrowed and he turned back to Alias.
"Correct, except the barrier is double A."
"Close enough. Were going to need you to melt a section of the barrier to get us in. Since I have already memorized-" damn her and her photographic memory "-it and since Wafer over here made the map, you're going to take the map." She said, addressing Azleth.
Aros took the notebook back from Alias and laid it flat on the ground in the middle of them all.
Azleth looked at the map, and figured out how it was laid out. There were six sections of complicated black lines, and Azleth guessed that they were each of the floors of the compound. The sections on the top were the top floors and the ones on the bottom were the bottom floors.
Aros took out a red pen and circled two places on the map.
"This-" the little half demon said, pointing to the red circle on the bottom most left part of the page, which was probably the basement "-is where Okumura-san's sword is."
"Kurikara." Alias corrected.
"Yes, Kurikara. Up here-" Aros said, now pointing to the circle on the top right corner of the page "-is where Okumura-san is being kept."
Alias stared at the map and the two circles, seemingly concentrating on making a plan, and suddenly said "Alright, I've got it! This is what we're going to do..."
LINELINELINELINELINE
Azleth simply walked, casually, with seemingly not a care in the world, through the hallway, following the map in his hand with as much precision as a lost tourist. Humans rushed by him, oblivious to his presence, as he was in his invisible form. He smiled in amusement as a human bumped into him, and confusedly looked around, adjusted his glasses, and moved on, albeit with caution.
Azleth rolled his eyes at the antics of the stupid humans. Honestly, if you were to bump into something you couldn't see, you wouldn't simply brush it off as if it had never happened! It would be the death of you! Azleth scoffed and took a sudden turn (as the map had directed him to) into a desolate hall and climbed up the final set of stairs.
'Finally! We've almost done it!' He thought, suddenly giddy with excitement as he continued walking through the hall. It was disturbingly empty, as if no living soul was allowed to be there. He continued on, though, undeterred from his mission. At last, he arrived at the only door in the entire hallway. It was made out of thick, grey, reinforced metal, as if what was behind it was behind it could not be restrained.
Azleth scoffed at the pathetic excuse of a door. It had one of those electronic devices that you had to enter a passcode into for it to let you through.
'Passcode? Please. I can't believe that humans think that such things would stop anything.' He scoffed again (he suddenly realized that when it came to humans, he scoffed a lot) at the stupidness of the practically powerless mortals and simply laid his index finger on the door.
White fire suddenly surrounded his finger, and spread to the door. It quickly ate away the thick metal and left a large hole in the wall from where it had been.
Azleth withdrew his finger and walked through the gaping hole in the wall.
He stepped into the desolate, grey room and looked around in confusion. There was no one there. He took another tentative step forward, suddenly cautious. There really was no one there. Azleth's eyes narrowed in his fury, and he let out a screech of rage, and kicked the wall, which immediately caved in. He searched again, eyes straining against the darkness (it was times like these where he almost wished he was a demon. At least they had night vision) and saw, in one corner of the room, a black leather notebook. One of Aros' black leather notebooks.
'Why on Assiah would that be here?' He thought, as he walked over to it and picked it up, the cool leather feeling good against his hand.
He flipped the page and owlishly blinked.
The background was obviously drawn and coloured by Alias. The only time she ever used anything other than crayons was when she was drawing out a plan. Also, she had picked up the habit of drawing inanimate things with ridiculous smiley faces.
The expertly drawn Japanese style cartoon (what was it that Alias called them? Chibs?) characters were obviously done by Aros. There were three of them, and each of them were one of the members of the 'Triple A Batteries'.
He observed the one that represented him and found something out of place.
He had a moustache.
Not even a good one, at that. It was one of those stereotypical French moustaches, with lots of emphasis on the curls.
He suddenly realized that Okumura had probably seen it. And the drawing representing him. With a ridiculous moustache.
He internally groaned, realizing that the first impression that Okumura had of him was probably not a good one.
Why would Aros do that? I mean, they were family! Aros was sure to know that-
Wait.
Alias.
Azleth groaned, this time out loud, and threw the notebook on the ground. When he found that demon, he was going to beat her up. Again.
He looked around once more, just to make sure he hadn't missed anything, then closed his eyes and concentrated for a small moment.
When his eyes opened again, a single message consisting of five words were sent telepathically to his companions.
'Guys, we have a problem.'
Whew, done! Thank you so much for sending your OCs, and I really like all of them so far! I REALLY Hope you guys liked the chapter, and remember to tell me what you thought! If you think that I should change something, improve on something, or if you have any suggestions for later chapters, go on ahead! I would very much accept any constructive criticism!
